Post Is Completely Missing
-
A post I successfully published yesterday is entirely missing today. It posted, people read it, it was shared on Facebook and Twitter… and now, today, it’s gone. Not in my Trash folder, not in my Drafts, doesn’t show up on the main blog page or when I type in the url to the post – nowhere. I have no idea what happened to it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here’s your Archives link http://authorckbrooke.wordpress.com/2014/10/
Do you see the post there?
If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.Provided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ -
Oh, dear. I did create it in the Beep Beep Boop thing… While another window with a separate draft was going. I do not see the entry in my archives link that you provided. Wow, so 4 hours of work has really been swallowed up in cyberspace? What’s odd is it was published successfully and live online last night for several hours. I wonder what would’ve caused it to have been deleted now, a day after being published?
